Least of All Me
[Verse 1]
Silver toes dance in the starlight
They're teasin' the tailors and the tomboys
While the alley cats whine to their heart's delight
And the winos make friends with the cowboys
And I'm wheezin' and coughin', headin' for the coffin
With no one to drink to my health
And I ain't carin' nor sharin' my troubles tonight
'Cept with this bottle that knows me too well
[Chorus]
I ain't the one to deceive you
When I'm starin' at the floor
Don't know which one will leave you
When you open your door
I ain't goin' to say the words
That might makе you more concerned about nothin'
Lеast of all me
[Verse 2]
Met this girl dressed in curls on the subway
Who was tired of cleanin' rooms
So she turned to kissin' strangers on the platform
And blamin' it all on the moon
But the moment of joy that she gave to each boy
Brought a greater letdown at dawn
When they had to wake up and they had to face up
To bein' further from gettin' along
[Chorus]
I ain't the one to deceive you
When I'm starin' at the floor
Don't know which one will leave you
When you open your door
I ain't goin' to say the words
That might make you more concerned about nothin'
Least of all me
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 3]
Arkansas orphan in a game of aprons
Now she's talking of going on home
And it don't make no sense when I find in a sense
I'm talkin' her out of going alone
But it's only 'cause I'm tired of all of these folks
Who force you into thinkin' you're weird
'Cause they need you to fill up their bankrupt wills
And they force you by borin' you to tears
[Chorus]
I ain't the one to deceive you
When I'm starin' at the floor
Don't know which one will leave you
When you open your door
I ain't goin' to say the words
That might make you more concerned about nothin'
Least of all me
Least of all me
[Outro]
Thank you, thank you, thank you
